Property description
A beautiful six bedroom Grade II listed historic period home with converted barn in approximately 0.5 of an acre plot with a walled lawned garden and gravel courtyard. The Old Manor House was built circa 1660 and began its life as a row of brick and stone built cottages that were joined and converted into the main house that we see today. Gabled dormers and Gothic glazed windows adorn this character period home. Approached through a private gated entrance to an inner courtyard, the property divides its half acre plot with a walled lawned garden to the rear and a gravelled courtyard and hedge lined decorative garden to the front.
Ground Floor Accommodation
The property is entered via a charming Gothic style entrance door leading straight into a charming dining hallway. The property features five further reception rooms many of which benefit from lovely period features including bay windows, feature fireplaces and heavily beamed ceilings. Without doubt the heart to this family home is the superb breakfast kitchen with slate tiled flooring, two oven Aga and part glazed ceiling and located off this kitchen are various practicalities including a secondary entrance vestibule, utility room, wash room and guest cloakroom.
Barn / Games Room
Adjoining the main house and accessed directly from the ground floor is a stunning large period barn with a wealth of exposed trusses and oak sprung floor which is ideal for entertaining but would also lend itself to those wishing to create a guest annexe or even those with a requirement to work from home.
First & Second Floor Accommodation
To the first floor an elegant landing provides access to six bedrooms which share the use of two bathrooms and a staircase continues to the second floor which offers three attic bedrooms all with period designed Gothic windows and currently comprise a study, a storeroom and a room with a Scandinavian style sauna.
Gardens & Grounds
The gardens and grounds provide a delightful setting for The Old Manor House as well as a high degree of privacy. To the front is a formal garden featuring yew and box hedges, shaped lawns, mature trees and a variety of specimen shrubs providing plenty of colour. To the rear are simpler walled gardens mainly laid to lawn which are surrounded by various fruit trees and a vegetable section. The property features two entrance driveways, one to the front and one to the rear and each provide ample off road parking.
Location
The property is located in the Old Lenton Conservation Area which offers extremely ease of access to Nottingham city centre as well as the Region's commercial and retail centres. The property is also particularly well located for Queens Medical Centre Hospital as well as the University of Nottingham.
